Poetic Terminology
The following is a list of terms that you will need to know for our poetry unit. These are also terms that you will use for the future so it will be handy to keep!
Using your amazing search skills on the internet, find definitions for the following terms and make your own notes. You can choose to do it the old fashioned way with pen and paper or put it all into a word document. Some of these are poetic elements, others are poetic styles or forms. Use examples to help you distinguish the two.
alliteration, allusion, ballad, blank verse, concrete poetry, diction, epic, epigram, epitaph, haiku, hyperbole, imagery, irony, lyric, metaphor, onomatopoeia, personification, repetition, rhyme, stanza, simile, sonnet, tone
There may be other terms that you see and want to include in your notes.

Poetry Notes
Poetry Presentation
Yes, you read that right. Your groups will need to find a poem to present orally to the class. The poem may be chosen from the textbook that will be available in the classroom or a poem that has been approved by Ms. Workman.
You will need to do the following for the presentation:
- follow The Framework for Responding to Poetry
- make sure you identify at least 3 poetic elements while doing the above
- BRIEF biography of the poet (include information that would be relevant, not the names of all 18 children or something like that)
- remember, you must cite your sources (in other words, where you found the information, whether it be from a website or a book)
Your presentation can be created as a poster, Power Point, Keynote or a Prezi or almost any other type of work. The old fashioned way of standing up in front of the classroom and reading out your information is just as good, too.
These presentations will occur in class next week.
